So, I now also have a Turbo Pro on the front of my bike and the rear tire is still running strong. I have put 6,500km on it since the end of November split across dry roads in the US, a month of riding in Ireland on its rough roads and crap weather and now in Spain on a mixture of roads and conditions. At this point – the tire is 'squaring' off and there are numerous small cuts (mostly acquired in Ireland) but still no puncture (I know – I'm cursing myself). They still roll well and are comfortable. I'm 73kg and am pretty light on equipment but that is still an excellent figure. So basically, I'm giving them a thumbs up.


SOS

Calling Specialize fans.... do Turbo Pro tyre available here?

my choice would be bikePro.....

if search further, u might find a forum giving bad reviews on spez turbo pro. same like gp4000s, some say the best, some say lousy. u just have to try them all, or trust the reviews.

not sure la, why not just give them a call. very helpful staff.

seems not review on the Malaysia cyclist context....

gotta make some few calls to find out....

still mau conti... takde takut?
take armadillo lar... it is supposedly their tougher tire... get the training one if you want it to be tougher...

http://www.specialized.com/us/en/ftb/road-...armadillo-elite

sexybank used to use them as their training clinchers...

unfortunately, last i asked GH.. they never bring in... but that was a year ago... maybe they have now...

yeah... saw a whole bunch of em last weekend... i think gp4000, didn't noticed the gp4000sssssss...
why die die have to find unker... you got jalan with him is it?

or you holding him at ransom with his sex tapes and the tires are free for you???

beside GP4000-assessss, what's ur recommendation? Specialized Turbo Pro ok? The retails price is RM159 le...

u sounded like u were in a hurry. so i pointed to a place where there are plenty of gp4000-asses in stock for sure. and different sizes too. price is reasonable, at rm155 (may '12). last time i went to bikepro, only 25C size available.

unless don't mind trying boon's place first, and go elsewhere if u can't find any.
*
sort of in hurry and panic when i found out my Bike Tech Subang shop Conti stock not available yet which suppose available by now...

nothing to do with unker boon's shop la... just too many gang members are visiting there...so automatically i follow suit ma..
oh yeah, i also no idea y... dont ask me...

YB Butthead... im just follow ur "call prostitute" strategy, the ARMADILLO not available la... the guy said it's not famous / popular in Msia, that y they no bring in for Malaysia market...

kinda sad right... the so called "Specialize Concept store"

so tell me how / which channel to get ARMADILLO ????

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Dec 26 2012, 02:18 PM)
for gp4000ass, just call khcycle see they have it in stock. cheaper than boon's, and they usually have plenty in stock. just call them first to make sure. i go to boon's all the time for various stuff. but for gp4000ass, i go to khcycle

er... something spark in mind... need an advise.

is it advisable to use Conti GP4000s and Gatorskin together?

GatorSkin put at rear, GP4000s put in front.... or vice versa...

does this combo good?

i use continental tires at the back and yokohama tires at the front for my car... and i am still surviving...

as long as it's not 700c at the back and a 20" at the front... it should be fine...

what do ya expect to happen... both the tires will fight and then blow themselves out mid-ride causing you to crash???

Malakoff Interstate Fellowship Ride...

it's a speed controlled ride. last year i heard its was 25km/hr maximum... i cant imagine rolling 25km/hr for 180km....

while at feeding zone, all cyclists have to masuk "kandang" feeding zone where it's big empty space.... not allowed to continue while every1 is refuel, refills.... makan makan...

important point is can not overtake the lead car... heard last year, even downhills have to break kaw kaw... imagine if front group is 30km/hr, behind will be much slower...

argh... i wish i have cyclist girl friend to ride together in the Malakoff pak tor pace riding for 180km.... it's no good for #Foreveralone cyclist like me....

expect this coming Malakoff interstate ride 186km and 86km round island will be effortless draft behind front peloton...
